Even at very low levels, something like Keep on the Borderland has encounters with dozens of opponents that you are expected to win at first level.

If you played well and there were 6-10 PCs and a couple of henchmen and a goodly number of 0-level men at arms then there was a fair chance of survival. You weren't "expected to win" that wasn't how the modules were written in those days.
